Who Should I Start? Jaylen Waddle or Matthew Golden

Wednesday, May 28, 10:53 PM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle was the star of the show during organized team activities on Wednesday, according to the Miami Herald's Omar Kelly. Waddle had career-lows across the board in catches (58), targets (83), receiving yards (744) and touchdowns (two) in 15 starts in his fourth NFL season in 2024 in a Dolphins offense that lacked the explosive plays they became so well-known for the previous two years. The 26-year-old still has plenty of speed to spare, but because of his down season in 2024, he has fallen down draft boards early on this offseason. The former sixth overall pick has the ability to bounce back for fantasy managers in 2025, but it could depend on Miami's offensive-line play and the health of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Waddle is no longer being considered a WR1 and could even be a shaky WR2 asset, depending on how the Dolphins' offense rebounds.

The Green Bay Packers announced on Monday that they signed first-round wide receiver Matthew Golden to his four-year rookie deal, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst. Golden will receive a fully-guaranteed $17.57 million with a signing bonus of $9.42 million, according to OverTheCap.com. The Packers took the 21-year-old pass-catcher in the first round at the end of April, the first time they had taken a receiver in the first round since 2002. The 5-foot-11, 191-pounder caught 58 passes for 987 yards and nine touchdowns at Texas in 2024. Golden should play right away in Green Bay, especially with Christian Watson (knee) potentially out for half the season. He will primarily be a field-stretcher for the Packers and could be a boom/bust fantasy commodity in his first NFL campaign in a wideout corps that also includes Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks.
